      Current Behavior: Uninstalling Qt framework and or individual Qt applications still leaves behind hidden system / preference / settings files on a user's computer.

      Proposed Behavior: Within the Maintenance Tool's uninstall process, add a check box enabling the user to eliminate all Qt related hidden system files. This would be a complete and full purge of all related Qt files.

      Mac

      /Users/<your name here>/.config

      PC

      /c/Users/<your name here>/AppData/Local/QtProject/

      Rationale: Currently users must manually remove these files when experiencing fatal crashing in QDS, for removal of rogue kits in Creator etc.
